The Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army.
This yamen is on one side of the corridor between Zhengyang Gate and Chengtian Gate in the Imperial City. In addition to the official offices of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, Taichang Temple, Jinyiwei Yamen and the official offices of the four governor's mansions are also in this area, while on the other side The clan government, the six ministries and the affiliated government offices are clearly divided between the two sides, just like the division of civil and military affairs.
There are two large stone lions in front of the yamen, and the five characters "Chinese Army Governor's Mansion" are hung on the eaves. Under them, a group of imperial guards in gold and silver fish scales stand holding knives.
In the official hall, Zheng Xian, the governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, sat on a red lacquered wooden back chair in the main hall. Below him were the governor Qianshi, his subordinates, experienced ministers, and general officials.
Wu Tong, the governor's official, groaned and said, "Prince Beijing has been appointed as the left governor. How should we deal with it now?"
The emperor has already issued an edict, and Prince Shui Rong of Beijing County will control the Central Military Governor's Mansion. Originally, the Governor's Mansion was headed by Beijing Prince's Mansion. Logically speaking, if it is water-soluble restraint, they should support it. However, these people were the ones who called for paying households at Beijing Prince's Mansion. When the Ministry owed money, he remained silent and walked away.
During Shui Rong's wedding, he called some people into the inner hall and excluded them. Needless to say, this was already abandoned.
Now that the Beijing Palace has regained power, this has to make them worried.
One of them sighed softly and said helplessly: "If I had known this, I should have paid the amount of money owed to the Ministry of Revenue."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. They initially saw that Shui Rong would not be tainted with the affairs of the court, so they played some tricks, but they did not expect that the situation would change drastically in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Xian, the governor's colleague, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, we are always the old subordinates of the prince's palace, and we always have a close relationship. If we stay down and do something small, the prince will not care too much."
Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this, but didn't say anything else. There was a quarrel between the left and right people because of the payment of account banknotes, and at worst they would have to hand it over again.
At this moment, Shui Rong in a python robe walked in, followed closely by Feng Ziying in armor.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. They did not expect that the Prince of Beijing County would come to the Central Military Governor's Mansion without any warning. For a moment, everyone stood up to salute, and the prince's voice could not be heard.
Shui Rong ignored everyone, walked to the main table and sat down majestically, scanned everyone with his sharp eyes, and said in a clear voice: "Everyone, this Commander is now the Left Commander of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, and will be commensurate with his official position from now on."
Facing these people, Shui Rong didn't have to be polite. Considering his status, there was no need to be conceited. Today he was here to give them a heavy blow.
Everyone's eyes flickered when they heard this. The Governor was an official title, which was not comparable to the title of Prince. However, Shui Rong demanded that it be commensurate with the official title. This showed his attitude of speaking in public.
Moreover, these people are the old members of the Beijing Prince's Palace. Now they can't even call them Prince, which also means that they don't belong to the old members now.
Zheng Xian, the governor's fellow aide, was silent for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "I've met Lord Governor Zuo."
Everyone had different expressions when they heard this. The prince called out his official title just when he asked him to. How can he be so tough? Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Xian, but he didn't care. Don't think that it's important that they are the top brass of the Central Military Governor's Mansion. In the face of their absolute status, everything seems unimportant. Without them, I don't know how many people would support him. Come up.
After a pause, Shui Rong said in a deep voice: "You all know about Marquis Haining, right? He is the right governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. What do you think?"
At the moment, the leader in the Governor's Mansion is Zheng Xian, the Governor's colleague. He groaned, cupped his hands and said, "Returning to the Governor of the Left, my subordinates think that the Governor of the Right is just jealous, so a small punishment or a big warning will suffice."
Shui Rong sneered and pointedly said: "What a jealous person, you don't know, right now, Haining Marquis has been transferred from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to the Jinyiwei Yamen."
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this. They were just jealous, so why did they alert the Jinyiwei yamen? Jinyiwei is an independent yamen and only needs to be responsible to the emperor. Since Jinyiwei got involved, it is not a trivial Xian frowned, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Left Governor, this is a matter of the Central Military Governor's Mansion. If the Right Governor has done anything wrong, it should be investigated carefully by the judge. What does it have to do with the Jin Yiwei? Their Jin Yiwei's hands are also stretched out." It’s too long, where is the Governor’s Mansion?”
Each government office of the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion is also an independent government office. If a military attache has a fault, it is also inspected by the judge. If a major crime is committed, it will be handed over to the Criminal Department for trial and the Dali Temple Master for review. In addition, it will be supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is also the so-called "Three Divisions".
Now that the Jinyiwei intervenes, it is tantamount to slapping the face of the Governor's Mansion.
Shui Rong glanced at Zheng Xian, thinking that Shui Rong would be fooled by this clumsy provocation?
Taking the tea cup brought by the servant, Shui Rong took a leisurely sip and asked calmly: "The Marquis of Haining spent 10 taels to redeem the Oiran's life. Do you know where the 10 taels of silver from the Marquis of Haining came from?"
Zheng Xian was heartbroken when he heard this, his thick eyebrows trembled involuntarily, and the others also looked unnatural.
When Shui Rong saw this, he sneered in his heart. They knew where the money came from. Not only the Marquis of Haining, but they all also took advantage.
After a moment of silence, everyone was silent. When Shui Rong saw this, he said in a deep voice: "I tell you that the 10 taels of silver for the ransom of Marquis Haining was obtained by embezzling military pay. Now that His Majesty is aware of this matter, he is extremely angry and strictly orders this governor to check it out." Investigate the embezzlement of Mo’s military pay.”
After hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. The strange saying was that Jin Yiwei would take action. It turned out that His Majesty wanted to investigate corruption in military pay. Officials from the entire Chinese Army Governor's Office were basically involved. If this was thoroughly investigated, no one would be able to escape responsibility. Now, The dignified high-ranking marquis has been taken into the imperial guard, so there is no need for them to talk about it.
"Your Majesty, the right governor has performed his duties faithfully in the government office and never slackened off. Someone must have slandered this matter. Please keep a close eye on it, Your Majesty."
Zheng Xian's head is strong, but this does not mean that other people are strong-headed. Wu Tong, the governor and minister who is standing bowed now, obviously does not have a head.
Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at him. He didn't call him Yu, and sneered: "You know whether there is corruption or not. The governor will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked shocked and fell silent. For a moment, the hall was filled with a depressive atmosphere.
Seeing this situation, Shui Rong changed his subject and said in a clear voice: "However, I think that all of you have contributed to the imperial court, so the governor can be lenient. If there are people who report and expose, the governor will not pursue them. If they are stubborn, they will not be investigated." , then just do it yourself.”
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this. What does it mean to not investigate? Upon seeing this, Shui Rong looked at the scene in front of him quietly without saying anything.
Emperor Yongkang ordered him to thoroughly investigate the corruption of ink, but this matter involved a lot, and it was not that easy to find out.
The most convenient way at the moment is to let them report and expose. As long as they are willing to confess everything, they will be treated leniently. This is why Shui Rong will explain the corruption to them to let them understand the seriousness of the matter.
As for worrying that they will communicate privately, there is no need to worry. People's hearts are complicated. Don't expect them to be of the same mind. Among this group of people, the amount of military pay they embezzle is huge. It seems that those who take the small head know the seriousness of the matter. Sex will definitely balance the gains and losses. As long as an opening is opened, things will be easier to handle.
Even if these people are unanimous in their opinions, then there is nothing to worry about as Marquis Haining is still in the Jinyiwei Yamen.
After groaning, Shui Rong said: "The number of people who can report and expose is limited to two people, so you can do your own thing."
After saying that, Shui Rong stood up and left without stopping, leaving everyone alone looking at each other. (End of chapter)
